Engine mount solution

[Sprint 77]

here is my upper brace mount in progress. I feel that the mounts are breaking because the motor is only mounted from the bottom alone. Here is my solution for this problem without having to order the mount from Europe at lots of time and S&H fees.
These will be needed for my mega HP stroker race ported timed and balanced engine.
Will try to keep more pics coming of the sides, clutch mounted throttle servo mount, and the motor to front bulkhead brace coming soon.

You are always fide a way to fix things. And make them work.

Nice job..
This is my second time into the Firehammer and I always had problems with the transfer gears getting thrashed because of the motor movement and that one screw that held the rear triangular piece to the mount coming loose.
Need more pics and more info.

Is Sprint77 even in the forum any longer? Under his user name it has a link to "reading the rules" which I take as being possibly banned?

I love the "single screw" that kinda holds the thing together. Fantastic engineering huh?

Sprint's modification is excellent.

I will try this to solve two issues, one, keep crap out and two, make it more stable.. I hope.

Awesome! What type of material did you use?

 

[teamchrome]

Aluminum, the same thickness as the rear tansmission brace.
Ill have the motor this week and Ill see how it goes.

This is the back cover..
I remember from the first Firehammer I had everyone would use silicone to make a pile behind the diff to prevent debris from damageing it.
I used a plastic piece on the first one, and this one is aluminum.. It works.

First pic is the old Hammer from about 1 year or more ago..
The second is the new one.

I like it. Let me know how the brace mod goes after you run it!
